WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Jan. Is.

Washington. Jan. Is.
Contrary to all prediction and to
some well laid plans, congress ignor-
ed the tariff puzzle for whole week,
and turned its attentions and its en-
ergies upon the Mormon question, in
terstate commerce, appropriations for
the militia, and upon the bill for es-
tablishing an executive department
of agriculture with a seat in the cab
met for its chief. Each question
was pushed to a vote, and the result
will be, if all this legislation effects
what was intended, that the twin
relic Of barbarism'' will be rooted out
of Utah; the people will be re-
lieved of grievous oppression and ex-
tOrtion from the railroads the citi-
zen soldiery of the country will be
provided with arms, and other equip
ments, and the farmers will have an
imposing figure head at Washington
to look after their special interests.
The president gave the first state
reception of 1887 to the diplomatic
corps. it being long established Gus
tom here to pay the first honors Of the
season to the representatives of for
eign nations. The official world at
Washington is always formally invit-
ed TO these levees, and persons in pri-
vate life whose presence is de-
sired are invited informally BY the
host or hostess. Although the rain
poured down and the wind blew furi-
ously. the White House was filled
with brilliant throng on this occa-
sion, and outside the scene was one
in which rolling carriages, lines Of
coaches, coupes, cabs Of all descrip-
tons, banging doors and shouting
drivers played a conspicuous part.
The venerable Mr.. Corcoran. Wash
ington's philanthropist, came to the
reception and remained late. seated
on sofa in the blue parlor, where
he received much attention from the
president guests. Gen. Sheridan.

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE Bill
1t has been stated that the railroads
have made little resistance to the new
bill and this is perfectly creditable,
even if they are credited with their
full share of selfshness. For the
worst effects of the measure must
fall, not upon them, but upon the
public. 1t is true that if as a result of
this crude legislation American rail-
roads should lose the whole trade
with China and Japan, the sacrifice
will be a serious one but the enact
ment of a law which practically COM
pels the advance of through rates all
over the country is not likely to di-
minish the revenue of the common
carriers. Senators who fully recog-
nize the mischievous character Of this
and other proposed changes have,
however, supported tie bill. Pre-
sumably they hold that the only way
left to convince their constituents that
the demand for the measure is mista-
ken is to let them see and feel it for
themselves. No doubt this is dras-
tie remedy, and one which seldom
fails, but unfortunately it is an ex-
travagent remedy, for it cannot be
applied without injuring some inter
ests seriously.

A PROMISE FULFILLED

A little more than year ago we pub
lished in these columns notice Of the dis
coverv of Sheridans Condition Powder
to make hens lay. In making that an
nouncement we relied wholly upon the
character and reputation of the manu-
facturers. To our own minds, at that
time, the idea Of making hens lay the year
round by artificial or any other means,
seemed absurd, but we have since learned
that It can be done. The notice alluded
TO above attracted universal attention
and thousands OF people, while not be-
lieving that Sheridan's Powder could ae-
compIish all that was claimed for ic
thought that IL was at least worth a triat
The trial was made during December,
January and February. No other months
could have been selected which would
have given this Powder so severe a test,
for everybody who keeps hens knows that
they will not lay during these months
except in rare cases. But the result Of
this trial was most satisfactory and con-
elusive. Hundreds Of those who made
the trial received from is 70 - eggs per
hen per mouth, while many got one egg
a day from each hen. The pr.ce Of eggs
during December. January and February
last averaged 30 TO 35 cents per dozen.
Thus il will be seen that a very few hens
each laying an egg a day would support
a small family. /. :. Johnson Co. of

belt worn diagonally over his shout
ders, came with his wife on his arm,
and Gen. Fitz John Porter, who had
not been to White House reception
probably for twenty years, was there.
The president seems to have recover
ed his health entirely, and after the
fatiguing task of three hours of hand
shaking, went to work next morning
with more vim than usual.
Many people think that the presi-
dent will call for an extra session of
the fiftieth congress. The tariff
question is in such a tangle that the
revenue reformers have little hope of
doing anything this season. Unless
Mr.. Randall does make move. the
controversy will probably exhaust
in talk until the end of this session,
with a prospect of an extra session
being called.
Hon. Farnk Hurd of Ohio, who
lost his seat in congress through too
much eloquence in behalf of tariff re-
form. is here now, and as eager as
ever for tariff legislation. He Is very
anxious for an extra session. so that
the tariff fight may he brought on as
soon as possible. He asserts that
public interest in the subject Is grow
ing stronger. A few years ago when
he talked tariff no one would listen.
Not one man in a hundred cared then
one rap about the tariff. Now he
says he gets a letter every day ask
ing him to deliver lectures on the sub
iect. He thinks the administration
will hardly dare To let the treasury
surplus go on piling up until next
year. Tariff reform has got to
come, said Mr.. Hurd, land the soon
er the question is met the better. Let
us have an extra session"
There will be a Norwegian in the
fiftieth congress in place of the late
Mr.. Prince of Wisconsin, and he will
be one of the greatest men as far as
expansion is concerned. Mr.. Nils
Haugen is six feet four inches, and
weighs three hundred pounds. He is
thoroughly American in speech and
manner, however, having come to this
country when a baby. He was edu-
Gated at Ann Arbor, Michigan, and
has been in the Wisconsin legislature
for several terms. He has been state
railroad commissioner since 1882,
and is also stenographer, having made
his living reporting at court at one
time.
1t Is not every congressman who Is
rich enough to take the stand against
his office hunting constituents that
Mr.. Perry Belmont now occupies.
This young congressman had the cour-
age to say at the last election that he
declined any longer TO spend his time
in Washington looking after positions
for the faithful. He was willing to
pay for the services Of a man whose
| duty it should be to devote himself to
that kind of work. he added, but he
was not willing to give it personal at
tentiOn, as there were other matters
of great Importance claiming his time.
Mr.. Belmont was as good as his
word, and he now employs man here
to attend to the business of the spoils-
men, on a distinct understanding
with the people of his district. Said
he, Il am willing to sign petitions
when consider applicants worthy of
Endorsement, but this running around
the departments in search of places i
cannot be expected to do and will
not"

Although very stringent measure
the anti-MormOn bill which has pass
ed the House of Representatives,
does not technically run counter to
any provision of the constitution. The
same legislation applied to any other
evil might possibly be called despot-
ic, but when applied to the curse of
polygamy it is no more nor less than
the wholesome despotism of public
sentiment. Desperate diseases must
have desperate remedies; and this is
exactly the treatment which congress
proposes to administer to the Mormon
